Reading have 'declared interest' in Chelsea youngster Tino Anjorin, according to reports in the national media.
The 21-year-old midfielder has made five appearances for the Blues first-team and scored two goals in nine appearances on loan at Huddersfield Town last season.
Still looking at midfielders, with Lewis Wing and Charlie Savage joining last week, Anjorin would supplement the club's weakest position.
According to Darren Witcoop of the Sunday Mirror, Anjorin is set to leave Stamford Bridge on loan and the Royals have 'declared interest.'

It is thought that the Championship remains the ideal move, but the former England youth international is 'weighing up options.'
Reading have a strong relationship with Chelsea, having had Baba Rahman and Cesare Casadei on temporary moves last season.
The Royals are yet to use any of their loan spots for the forthcoming League One campaign.
